The earnings call summary and Q&A reveal mixed sentiments. While new wins and a strong backlog are positives, delays in quote-to-order conversions and competition in the data center space are concerns. The company's confidence in future project awards and improved cash flow are promising, but uncertainties in the private sector and federal military opportunities temper expectations. With no clear guidance and mixed signals, a neutral sentiment is appropriate for the stock's short-term movement.
Revenue Revenue increased 7% year-over-year to $205 million in Q2 2025. The increase was driven by new bookings and increased volume across both business segments.
Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA doubled to $11 million in Q2 2025 compared to the same quarter last year, with margins improving 240 basis points to 5.3%. The increase in profitability is primarily attributable to strong performance across both segments, moderation of G&A, reduced borrowing costs, and tax benefits.
GAAP Net Income GAAP net income for Q2 2025 was $800,000 or $0.02 per share. This reflects improved earnings growth compared to the prior year.
Adjusted Net Income Adjusted net income for Q2 2025 was $2.7 million or $0.07 per share, showing meaningful earnings growth year-over-year.
Marine Segment Revenue Marine revenues increased 3% year-over-year to $135 million in Q2 2025. The growth was driven by efficiently closing out projects in 2025 and the absence of project delays that occurred in 2024.
Marine Segment Adjusted EBITDA Marine adjusted EBITDA grew to $12.7 million in Q2 2025, with a 9.4% margin. The growth is attributed to efficient project execution and the absence of delays seen in 2024.
Concrete Segment Revenue Concrete revenues increased 14% year-over-year to $70 million in Q2 2025. The growth was driven by new project awards and increased client demand.
Concrete Segment Adjusted EBITDA Concrete adjusted EBITDA was a $1.7 million loss in Q2 2025 compared to a $4 million profit in Q2 2024. The decline is primarily due to favorable project closeout benefits in 2024 that did not recur in 2025.
Backlog Backlog increased modestly to almost $750 million in the first half of 2025, supported by $111 million in new awards and change orders in Q2 2025.
Export dock replacement project: Awarded a contract in the Pacific Northwest to remove and replace an existing timber berth structure with a new concrete structure supported by large diameter steel pipe piles. Expected completion in Q3 2026.
Port of Tampa Bay projects: Won two projects: a 3-year maintenance dredging contract and a critical port infrastructure improvement project to support population growth and construction demand.
Concrete business projects: Awarded contracts for new projects spanning energy, consumer goods, and transportation, expected to commence in Q3 2025 with a duration of about a year.
Expansion into Florida and Arizona: Opened an office in Phoenix to capitalize on data center investments and commercial growth in Arizona. Expanded into Florida with encouraging results, actively executing projects in both segments.
Pipeline growth: Opportunity pipeline grew from $16 billion to $18 billion, driven by public and private funding sources.
Revenue and EBITDA growth: Revenue increased 7% to $205 million, and adjusted EBITDA doubled to $11 million compared to Q2 2024.

New headquarters and collaboration: Moved to a new headquarters in Central Houston, fostering stronger collaboration and a unified culture.
Legislative and policy tailwinds: Benefiting from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and executive orders incentivizing investments in infrastructure, AI, and energy projects.
Increased competition in the concrete business: The company is experiencing increased competition on data centers from new market entrants in the concrete business, which could impact their ability to maintain market share and profitability.
Working capital timing challenges: The company used $5.6 million of cash for operations in the quarter, primarily due to working capital timing on a couple of large projects, which could strain liquidity if such issues persist.
Concrete segment profitability decline: The Concrete segment reported a $1.7 million loss in adjusted EBITDA compared to a $4 million profit in 2024, primarily due to favorable project closeout benefits in 2024 that did not recur in 2025, indicating potential challenges in maintaining profitability.
Dependence on large-scale projects: The company's financial performance is heavily reliant on securing and efficiently executing large-scale projects, which introduces risks related to project delays, cost overruns, or cancellations.
Debt levels: The company ended the quarter with approximately $31 million of net debt, which could pose financial risks if cash flow generation does not improve or if borrowing costs increase.
Revenue Guidance: The company reaffirmed its full-year 2025 revenue guidance in the range of $800 million to $850 million.
Adjusted EBITDA Guidance: The company reaffirmed its full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance in the range of $42 million to $46 million.

Capital Expenditures (CapEx): The company reaffirmed its full-year 2025 CapEx guidance in the range of $25 million to $35 million.
Marine Segment Outlook: The company sees robust opportunities in the Marine segment driven by U.S. Navy strategy in the Pacific, port expansions, coastal rehabilitation, and energy infrastructure. Several large-scale opportunities are under active pursuit, aligning with strategic growth objectives.
Concrete Segment Outlook: The company anticipates strong opportunities in the Concrete segment, particularly from data center investments driven by hyperscalers and AI-related infrastructure. New projects spanning energy, consumer goods, and transportation are expected to commence in Q3 2025 with an estimated duration of about a year.
Market Trends and Tailwinds: The company expects significant benefits from the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which allocates $4.4 billion for shoreside infrastructure and includes provisions to lower operating costs, expedite permitting, and minimize taxes. Additionally, executive orders to incentivize investments in AI-related infrastructure are expected to boost the bookings environment over the next several years.
